Now the working mode is 996. Do ancient ministers have to work overtime?

In contemporary society, many young people are mainly office workers, and both of them have a fixed model, that is, the 996 model, but many times they also need to work overtime to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors, so some people will be confused. Was there an overtime system in ancient times? The answer is yes, it has already appeared in ancient times. For example, textile workers in the textile industry and ministers in the imperial court sometimes need to work overtime. Because it is impossible for everyone to guarantee to work overtime every day.

First of all, let's talk about the understanding of the 996 working mode of modern young people. 996 means going to work from 9 am to 9 pm, then working six days a week and taking a day off on weekends. This kind of life is also the struggle history of a young man. Of course, overtime is inevitable in this process. If you need to climb to a higher level, you must work overtime to be different from others. Let the leader see your talent, and then you will be promoted step by step. Therefore, it is very common for contemporary young people to work overtime to complete the task, but sometimes it is not because of this, but because they have to complete the task before submitting.

After talking about modern times, so did ancient times. If ministers can't finish the tasks assigned by the emperor at once, then the emperor will naturally be unhappy, and then ministers will be punished. When the emperor is happy, the punishment will be lighter, while when the emperor attaches great importance to it, the punishment will be very serious, and some of them are punishments that ministers can't afford, so ministers will definitely try their best to finish it, and overtime is definitely necessary.

The same is true for women textile workers, because in winter, people need to wear thick clothes, and at this time, the daily workload of textile workers is very heavy. Because of the large market demand, they must also supply enough goods to the market. If they miss the golden sales period, their goods will be hoarded, so they must devote all their energy to production during the golden sales period. So in order to increase sales, they have to work overtime, so they have to work overtime, so working overtime at night has become a custom in the industry.
